:18:01
That's an awfully weak attempt
to explain this away.
:18:04
Yes, it is.
:18:05
Then you accept it?
:18:07
An evil spirit at work in this town?
I didn't say that.
:18:10
Things you think you heard...
:18:12
...things you think you saw
You're saying I'm hallucinating.
:18:15
What about the burn on his forehead?
Did I imagine that?
:18:18
It's an injury
in the rough shape of a cross.
:18:20
The rough shape.
:18:21
You've had a nervous breakdown
Breakdown?!
:18:24
I think it's you who have been
through too much, Merrin.
:18:27
Will you please try
to control yourselves?
:18:30

:18:33
And what about his perfect English?
:18:35

:18:43
Let's assume what you say is true.
:18:46

to further danger...
:18:54
...by having him join a religion
they equate with evil?
:18:57
Say it. Say it, Merrin. Or can't you?
:18:59
The work of Satan.
It's the work of man!
:19:02
Why can't you accept that?
Because my only concern...
:19:05
...is the eternal soul
of that young man.
:19:10
Are you so arrogant, Merrin...
:19:13
...that you would involve the rest
of the world in your crisis of faith?
:19:16
That you would deny to someone
what you once cherished...
:19:20
...simply because you now doubt it?
:19:25
What makes you think he wants it?
You could try asking him.
:19:30
He's awake now.
:19:53
See.
:19:57
Doctor, please, would you ask him
if he would like to become...
